best low profile bike helmets image
david
I need a helmet $100 or less that doesn't look like a giant mushroom on my head. Right now I have a super cheap giro and it looks big and goofy. I know helmets are made for safety, but are there any that look good while protecting my head? Something low profile
Answer
Go into a local bike shop (avoid wal-mart and other stores that don't specialize in bikes) and take a look at a few. Helmets have come a long way since those old Bell helmets from the 90's. if this doesn't work out Trek and Specialized make some very nice looking ones for both road and mt.biking, and yes they r under $100

assuming you will be properly fit and that accessories suchas shorts and pedals are not part of the budget my opinio is as follows.
1. shimano 105 or better components. i love my 105 and ultergra stuff, flat out will NOT pay for dura ace.
2. carbon where it counts... seat stays and forks. aluminium is fine and with carbon forks and stays the ride will be smoothed. add a carbon seat post if necesary. i ride a full alluminum (forks and all) and havent really had any issues with harsh ride.
3. decent wheels. i swear by my mavic open pros on cannondale factory hubs. they are not flashy they dont have huge carbon spokes or some wierd lacing pattern with only 7 spokes. they are low profile aluminum and sturdy, no ridiculously deep v cross sections. plain simple reliable with replaceable and upgradeable sealed berrings.
a reliable local bike shop will be able to steer you in the right direction and help you compare and contrast different models and parts. at the $1000 price point there are tons of bikes out there and many shops are going to be trying to get rid of last years stock... great pricing on near identical bikes. make sure the bike is properly fit to your body, this means that you sit on the bike while on a trainer and they take measurements and make adjustments.some timeses they will replace parts such as stems and bars to acheive a better fit. also it never hurts to ask if you can get discount on some acsessories if purchased at the same time as the bike, ive score pedals or helmets for free before.
one last thing, find out about your shops service plan and definately submit the waranty card from your bike.
good luck and have fun.
